Editor's Award WinnerThis quiz has received an Editor's Award for excellent content. Only the most unique and well written quizzes are eligible for this award.

The Victorians are well known to have been great inventors, and also to have made great strides in the field of social welfare - such as introducing a law making it illegal to hire children under 10 years of age. Before that children would work from as young as five - so much for being allowed to enjoy their childhood! And, of course, the progress made by inventions helped to make Great Britain the great Empire it was at that time. What else do you know about the Victorian age? Hopefully this quiz will help you find out!

Questions are quite long, and info from a lifetime of interest in these sorts of subjects and many TV documentaries, books and websites on them.
